I'm looking at it right now. Your install looks fine. From what I can tell at the moment, it's because the Directory theme displays a hierarchy of categories on the home page, and a archive listing when the URL is /listings. Still looking into this. I'll have more information for you soon.

It sounds like something in your theme is inteferring because it works fine for me and a couple of other people when used on base themes like the 2012 theme.

The other way you can come at it is make a page with a 302 redirect to the /listings/ page and make that page the Front page. Several ways to do that. .htaccess or a plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin/. Make a Page that redirects to /listings/ and setit as the front page and oyu'll get the same effect.

I tried a lot of things but it looks like that there was some problem with the permalinks perhaps somewhere in the background.

I have followed the approach as given by Arnold above and created a page named as Directory and set that page as the home page at the same time redirecting it to the listings page and now whenever someone opens your site, they will see the listings page :slight_smile:

I hope that helps. Please feel free to ask if you have more questions on the same.
